It tends to be Eiffel driven but there should be no reason that Ada shouldn't be included. Meyer, in his book, is a down on Ada but most of that is because he was comparing to Ada83. It helps when reading "Object-Oriented Software Construction, Second Edition" to have you Eiffel coder hat on. I do not know how he feels about Ada now. These are all just my opinions. Steve Schwarm
